I used to believe that but the video shows something else. Harper has great 20 yard speed but limited top end. At SS he usually is working on a TE. Depending on the defense called Harper can be exposed against speedier WR types. Most SS in the league have this problem Harpers only problem is top speed.

While some may not agree with this signing, I trust in Payton, Loomis and Williams.
